This makes all Idea product behave nicely with the Gnome launcher.
The WM class for every Idea product is in the form
jetbrains-<product>[-ce]
Where <product> is e.g. "idea", "pycharm", etc., and "-ce" is appended
for community editions.

Motivation for this change
Idea products don't currently play well with the Gnome 3 launcher, as demonstrated by the screenshot, where the Intellij icon shows up twice instead of once.
The fix is to set
StartupWMClassin the desktop entry file.I looked up the code that generates the wm class, ran each product to verify the names with
xprop, and installedidea15-ultimateinto my profile to test that the result fixes the issue.Things done
(nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
or option
build-use-sandboxinnix.confon non-NixOS)
nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"./result/bin/)
